Events

Young Bristol took 11 young people (3 of which were from Avon Youth Club) to our twinned city, Hannover, for a 4 days residential. The trip included a variety of German culture, youth work discussions and physical activities designed to give the young people exposure to different cultures and opportunities. The trip was a great success with young people meeting counterparts from German Youth clubs, making friends and broadening their horizons. We hope to keep in contact with the German group and we hope to make this a regular occurrence

The programme has been kindly supported by the Bristol Hanover Council and Jon Finch, of the Museums Team at Bristol City Council.

In June we celebrated HM the Queen’s Jubilee! We really enjoyed coming together to celebrate a once in a lifetime event with the young people of Avon Youth Club – with plenty of flags, impressive outfits and an enormous cake!! We held lots of fun activities such as bunting and badge making, fancy dress, parties and sports.

We have held a number of Community Days with other Youth Club Members in Bristol which were very successful.

This involved activities ranging from High Wall and Group Team Building Activities.

The Port of Bristol Bowling Club kindly invited members and staff from AYC to their Club for a fun evening of Bowling. This was a first for both the members and staff.

What a great evening, thank you to PBA for their support to AYC. Hopefully we can return again in 2020.

Members of Avon Youth Club

The Feeding Bristol/Healthy Holiday project was rolled out throughout Bristol. Avon Youth Club were lucky to be part of this project and packed lunches and/or food was provided every day during the Club’s summer holiday club.

5,000 children throughout Bristol benefitted from this project. The project is run by 550 volunteers with a total cost of £94,000.00 for the whole project. This was paid for by numerous donators and supporters throughout the area. Thank you to everyone for their support.

The Lions Club are sponsoring a Young Leader in Service Award, and the Club has identified a young person who has excelled at the Club, volunteering to help for a number of years She is a great role model for the rest of our young people and community.

The Award involves 100 hours of volunteer work.

Congratulations Ashanti Ludwell and Well Done.

Co-Op Food Share. We have been receiving food donations from the local Co-Op Store at Sea Mills. We have done some in house cooking with the members and have given food parcels to our young people and their families

We are very grateful to Co-Op for their support and partnering us here at Avon Youth Club.

What a great experience, this was a first time activity for the Club and its members.

We were lucky that this activity was funded by Tennyson Lodge In Clevedon, thank you for their support.

Our young members had a great time and were thankful for the opportunity to do this. We hope to do the same next year.

Nick Halahan of Olas Art recently visited the Youth Club to produce a new Mural at the front of the building.

The Club Members helped Nick during a couple of Workshops, incorporating their own ideas.

Well done everyone.
